Chapter 147: Meeting Meng Yunxi Again
Heaven-Shaker · 第147章 再遇梦芸熙
"How can he still have strength left!" Gu Qi could hardly believe his eyes. The martial technique just now was too powerful, having reached the standard of a Star-rank technique. Even if he himself were to use a Star-rank technique, the blood energy in his body would be instantly depleted.
"Bang!" Yang Tian's hand suddenly clenched, and a majestic force surged forth. His silver fist shot toward Gu Qi's body like a bolt of lightning.
"You little bastard, I won't let you off!" A trace of panic appeared in Gu Qi's eyes. In haste, he activated his protective garment, just as a few strands of its power were stirred.
Boom! The lightning was dazzling. The fist, fierce and overwhelming, struck Gu Qi's chest directly. The protective garment shook violently, and his entire body was sent flying backward.
Bang! After crashing through several ancient trees in succession, Gu Qi's body fell heavily to the ground. He convulsed violently a few times, spat out a mouthful of rebellious blood, and his aura instantly withered.
Gu Qi coughed blood, his whole body feeling as if it were splitting apart. His internal energy was at its lowest ebb. He raised his head with difficulty, his venomous gaze fixed on Yang Tian, surging with murderous intent.
"You little bastard, I won't let you off!" Gu Qi roared, his hair disheveled. He tried to stand but eventually fell.
"Heh, let me help you," Yang Tian said as he walked over, casting a cold, sharp glance at Gu Qi. A hint of fierce killing intent surged forth.
That gaze swept over Gu Qi, making him feel as if he were being stared at by a primordial beast. A chill rose in his heart, and fear took hold.
"Anyone who touches my family must die!" Yang Tian sneered coldly. The Ancient Huang Li family had completely crossed his bottom line. The pure land in his heart would never allow threats.
"Family?" Watching Yang Tian's domineering manner, Hong Ying felt a warmth surge in her heart. Her bright eyes looked at Yang Tian, and a hint of joy appeared on her pretty face.
Yang Tian walked over step by step, his expression cold and devoid of emotion. His sharp divine light struck fear into Gu Qi's heart.
"Crack..." Looking at Gu Qi, who was enveloped in a layer of energy shield, Yang Tian sneered. He directly grabbed Gu Qi's arm, swung him into the air, and then slammed him heavily onto the ground.
"Bang, bang..." The ground trembled. Yang Tian was ferocious, smashing Gu Qi's body repeatedly against the rocks, like swinging a whip, slamming him down dozens of times.
Hong Ying couldn't help but close her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly. From the miserable screams, it was clear that Gu Qi's condition was utterly wretched.
"Well done." Hong Xue clenched her jade-like hand. Many members of her family had been injured by Gu Qi's punch; today was the day of reckoning.
The shrill howls echoed repeatedly. The figures fighting in the air suddenly halted. Guba turned his head and saw Yang Tian smashing Gu Qi around; his face instantly darkened.
"Yang Tian, you brat, how dare you!" Guba's eyes were wide with rage, his heart burning with fury. He abandoned his current opponent and charged toward Yang Tian.
A vast gust of wind rushed toward him. Yang Tian's heart tightened, and he glanced at Guba's charging figure.
"Old man, if you want him, I'll give him to you." Yang Tian sneered, kicking Gu Qi in the abdomen. With the sound of bones cracking, Gu Qi's body flew like a broken kite, crashing heavily toward Guba.
Guba's charging figure suddenly halted. With a slight flick of his sleeve, he caught Gu Qi's body in midair. Seeing him coughing blood continuously, Guba couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
"Let's go." Yang Tian directly grabbed Hong Ying and Hong Xue's delicate bodies, flickered, and dashed into the dense forest.
"You want to leave? Stay here!" Guba roared angrily. As his hand waved, a fierce gust of wind burst forth, slapping toward Yang Tian's body.
"Scram!" Yang Xiao lightly scolded. He pointed a finger in the air, and a strange black light directly shattered the palm shadow. At the same time, his figure retreated into the forest.
"Damned bastard!" Guba roared repeatedly, chasing after him into the forest.
In this mountain range, a figure coughed blood on the ground, his gaze full of venom. On the other side, three people lay dead, their bodies torn apart and scattered.
In the endless mountains, Yang Tian rushed forward. He could faintly sense the fluctuations of energy collisions behind him. Not daring to delay, he frantically ran deeper into the mountains.
"Brother Yang Tian, put us down. My sister and I can walk." Hong Ying sniffled, looking at Yang Tian's bloodstained body. Drops of blood fell along the way, and she quickly spoke.
"Yes, put us down quickly." The strong masculine aura made Hong Xue's cheeks flush slightly. Her cheeks puffed up as a strong arm held her slender waist, leaving her feeling weak all over.
"Both of you, quiet down. Don't make noise." Hearing this, Yang Tian frowned and scolded them directly. He took a handful of Star Essence Pills, forcibly suppressing the pain in his body, and frantically rushed forward.
He didn't know how long he had been running. His body was extremely exhausted. The energy fluctuations behind him had stopped for a while, and his heart began to tense up.
Swish! Just as Yang Tian was worrying, Yang Xiao's soul body rushed over. His entire form was as thin as clear water, very dim, and his face had aged decades.
"Uncle Xiao, are you alright?" Seeing Yang Xiao's state, Yang Tian was startled and quickly asked.
"Heh, I won't die. Find a place to hide quickly..." As he spoke, Yang Xiao's mouth stopped moving, and his gloomy gaze swept across the void ahead.
"Friend, come out. Hiding and skulking is no act of a hero. Are you afraid of this soul body?" Yang Xiao's hand clenched slightly as he shouted coldly.
"Someone's there!" Yang Tian's face suddenly darkened. His cold gaze fixed on the spot Yang Xiao was looking at, and a sense of unease rose in his heart.
In the void, a figure suddenly appeared. He wore black tight-fitting clothes, about thirty years old, with long black hair dancing in the void. His expression was somewhat gloomy.
"Friend, you have good eyesight. I didn't expect that I, Chen, would be discovered by a soul body." Looking at Yang Xiao, the man surnamed Chen said with a slight smile.
"Surname Chen?" Yang Tian's eyes shifted for a moment, and his heart sank to the bottom. This person was probably a lone strong practitioner. Such people usually acted alone and had no reverence for major powers.
"Heh, may I ask what business this friend has?" A trace of coldness flashed in Yang Xiao's eyes as he said indifferently.
"I'd like to borrow this young friend's cultivation technique for a look. After I've seen it, I'll leave immediately. I won't break my word." The man surnamed Chen shifted his gaze to Yang Tian and said with a faint smile.
"Your tone is quite arrogant, but I wonder if you're qualified?" Yang Xiao shook his head slightly and sneered. Even if he showed the technique, his soul would be directly killed.
"What? In your current state, can you stop me?" Hearing this, the man surnamed Chen shrugged and said with a hint of warning.
"I don't know if I can stop you, but if I fight with my life, I have the ability to drag you down with me." Yang Xiao smiled, the coldness in his eyes growing more intense.
"Arrogant!" Hearing Yang Xiao's boastful words, the man surnamed Chen's face darkened. He suddenly stamped his foot in the void, and a vast surge of energy burst forth.
Like a mountain, an overwhelming pressure surged through the void. Yang Tian's body instantly burst with blood, his internal energy rapidly decreasing, and his bones trembled faintly.
"If you don't hand over the technique, Yang Tian will die today!" The man surnamed Chen sneered, directly attacking Yang Tian to avoid any delays.
"I'm afraid that even if I give you the technique, you won't be able to learn it!" Yang Tian curled his lips and sneered. Blood continuously seeped from the corners of his mouth, but his expression showed no sign of surrender.
"Bang..." Another step was taken, and the fierce force escalated. Yang Tian's spine bent, his entire body cracking, with bones exposed one by one.
A fierce murderous intent surged on Yang Xiao's face. Just as he was about to act, his expression changed again, and his gaze shifted to the figures approaching ahead.
Ahead, two figures walked over. When Yang Tian saw one of the women, he instantly breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't expected Meng Yunxi to come and help him.
"Get lost yourself." Old Zhou glanced at the figure ahead and said indifferently. His eyes were murky, but he exuded an unapproachable aura, towering and unmoving.
The man surnamed Chen's face darkened. He cast a reluctant glance at Yang Tian, then withdrew his energy. His figure fled; a peak War Emperor could crush him with a snap.
As the vast pressure dissipated, Yang Tian's body trembled. Darkness appeared in his eyes. He felt himself being held by a full, soft body, and then lost consciousness.
